A wonderfully personal letter written by Eleanor to her maternal
aunt Maude Gray, wife of David Gray, the ambassador to Ireland. In
the letter Eleanor touches on many personal topics including her
attempt to arrange a visit and picnic lunch with her aunt
"...I'll come up and spend Friday, Sept 6th/ with you & go
over the house. I'll bring a/ picnic lunch for the Tallady's &
Mrs/ Winter". She also mentions her husband writing:
"Franklin arrives Sunday morning/ & I move to the big house
& 'become a lady' for/ part of the time at least." An
intimate letter which beautifully illustrates the affection between
Eleanor and her aunt.
